Electrolytic capacitors are employed in single phase induction motors in order to increase their starting torque. It is necessary that such starting takes place in a fraction of a second and that once starting has occurred the capacitor is disconnected from the circuit by means of either a starting switch or relay. The capacitive element is made of aluminium foils treated and separated by a leaf of impregnated paper as the electrolyte. Cases are moulded in a thermo setting material and terminals are 6.3mm Faston type.

220/275 volts

Frequency Range :

50/60Hz

Dissipation Factor :

Average = 6%
Maximum = 10%

Duty Cycle :

3'/1.7% Hour Applications N = 20
Application Time
t = 3 seconds , Nxt = 60
i.e. 20 Starts per hour, 3 secs application time.

Extension of Duty Cycle :

These capacitors withstand heavier duty cycles than the rated one. The table shows the maximum Nxt value (number of hour applications multiplied by application time) and the maximum admitted application time T max.
For temperatures below 55°C, the product Nxt and T max, can be multiplied by the following factors.

Ambient Temparature Factor	55°C	45°C	35°C	25°C	15°C
